Content Installation failing due to pending downloading job

[Srikant]

Hi Team,

I have created a script to automate some configuration with bash, its failing to install contents as downloading job not finished yet, what command can be used to wait until job finish?

request content upgrade check

request content upgrade download sync-to-peer no force yes latest

request content upgrade install commit yes sync-to-peer no disable-new-content yes force yes skip-content-validity-check yes version latest

 any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Srikant, when you initiate the content download, you would need to wait for the download to finish, by observing the "job ID" of the download. Here is an example, the download command gives the job ID (875), then in your script you would need to watch the job status until it moves from status:ACT (active) to status:FIN (finished), check that result was "OK", then proceed to do the install...

admin@james-vm-series-a(active)> request content upgrade download sync-to-peer no force yes latest

Download job enqueued with jobid 875
875

admin@james-vm-series-a(active)> show jobs id 875

Enqueued              Dequeued           ID                              Type                         Status Result Completed

There is a ready-made playbook in Ansible here if you are interested, from a repository of other really useful Ansible playbooks.

That said, in bash, it might look something like this script?

$ ./content_install.sh
Download status: ACT
Download status: FIN
Install status: ACT
Install status: ACT
Install status: ACT
Install status: ACT
Install status: ACT
Install status: ACT
Install status: ACT
Install status: FIN
